"Nursing and Midwifery Education is a book which has been designed keeping in mind the need for an instruction manual to aid nursing teachers and lecturers. Bringing forth relevant, upto-date material on the education of nurses, it guides nursing instructors on how to impart efficient knowledge and training to future nurses and midwives. Recognising the latest trends and developments in the field of medicine, the book provides efficient coverage to the evolving medical world, and attempts to reconcile the practice of nursing with these developments, by guiding teachers in planning their lessons and demonstrations.

Nursing, along with the medical profession, is one of the most noble callings. Incorporating the most comprehensive and exhaustive knowledge, with the most relevant material, this book seeks to help teachers provide quality nursing and midwifery education, and, that they would find it highly useful."
